Some broadcasters now provide a digital text service. Digital text services offer all
the familiar information that analogue (conventional) text services provide but with
the look and feel of a graphically rich website.

The appearance, content and navigation methods of all digital text services are
decided by the broadcaster. Most of the digital text services currently available use
simple navigation methods based on the following buttons:

There are two ways to view digital text, either while watching a digital channel or by
accessing a dedicated digital text channel.

(depending on availability of service)

This form of digital text is accessed the same way as analogue text.
